Chapter 15 - 5. Existence

I want to cry.

I want to break down.

But I can't.

The silence holds my tears hostage.

I'm full of void—

a pit carved out by deception and lies.

Each day, I lose another part of myself.

Trying to be someone I'm not

so someone else might enjoy my presence.

I keep sacrificing myself

to empty hearts

that never asked to feel—

just to be filled.

I thought I felt nothing.

Cared about nothing.

Was nothing.

I was just…

existing.

But the longer I kept going,

the more I wanted—

To feel.

To be felt.

To care.

To be cared for.

To become something.

To mean something.

To exist.

So I wandered,

from place to place,

trying to fit into skins that weren't mine—

not realizing I was shattering.

Bit by bit.

Beyond repair.

I lost myself.

My life.

My time.

Everything.

And in the end,

I came full circle—

back to the void.

Back to just existing.

It echoes in me now:

All I can do is exist.

I have to exist.

I must exist.

Exist.

Exist.

Ex...

ist...

I DON'T WANT TO EXIST.

I just want to disappear.
